This genus may be placed near Foucartia, Duv. It is 

 remarkable for its straight transverse scrobe, lying be- 

 tween the eye and the mouth, but rather nearer the 

 former.

Differs from Prosayleus only in the form of the pro- 

 thorax, which is strongly rounded at the sides in that 

 genus, and in the fore-legs being scarcely longer than 

 the others. As in some species of that genus, the elytra 

 become, at a short distniuce from the base, much broader
